The route will be about 210 miles long and will pass through Pima, Plnal, Graham, Gila, Yavapai and Apache counties.

Much complaint has been caused among business men, says and exchange, regarding a recent ruling of the Post Office depart ment subjecting packages of fourth-class matter to letter post age where the wrappers contain on the outside any writing or printing except the name and ad- dress of the sender preceded by the word ''from" and the number and names of the articles inclosed. In some instances under this rul- ing the department has charged letter postage on packages of fourth-class matter, because they were wrapped in old newspapers. The ruling has naturally occa- stoned much annoyance to almost everybody accustomed to send or receive such packages, and partic- ularly to dealers or manufacturers using the mails for the transpor- tation Of their wares.

Leitch the victims who endeavored to devour it. They didn't succeed, though, and want no more barley pie in theirs.- Hon. Dan H. Ming arrived from his ranch in Aravaipa on Monday, and the following day left for Kansas, where he goes after his daughters.-W e understand that William Whelan has sold all of his cattle to Burt Nutting, of Stockton Pass, and that the cattle are now being rounded up and branded preparatory to being turned over to the purchaser.

New Mexico territorial warrants are selling at a discount of about 35 per cent, and the Sentin el thinks they will drop still lower before the next session of the Leg islature. When the next Legisla- ture does meet over there it would be good idea for them to send over a committee to this Territ ory and take a few lessons in running a Territory from Arizona Solons. Arizona warrants are worth from 97 to 9S cents.

Western Liberal: A subscrip- tion paper is being extensively signed by the Southern Pacific trainmen to raise funds to defray defense expenses of A. W. Sydnor and Wm. Skldmore, who have re- gently been indicted by the United States grand jury for the train and mail robbery that occurred last April at Pantano. It seems that the subscribers think the men are not guilty, hence the move.

The Western Liberal, published

The Western Liberal, published at Lordsburg, N. M., by Messrs. Dye and Kedzie, reached our table last Friday. The first issue shows evidence of a nasty birth, but promises to be in the future all that the citizens of Lordsburg could wish, both editorially and geographically. We wish Messrs. Dye and Kedz;e success in their venture, and hope that the people of Lordsburg will be as liberal in their support as the paper will be Liberal in its ideas.

Lordsburg Correspondence.

The town has been the scene of considerable turmoil the past week. And it turns ont to be nothing but a tempest in tea pot" In my last communication allusion was made to a panic en- gendered by the failure of a cer- tain mining company to pay off at the stipulated tune. The com pany has since paid off their en- ployes and the discontents have left.
 Colonel I. R. Birt of the Phenix Advance passed through on his way to Silver City to attend the district court. The Colonel had, as sample of the citrus products of the Salt River valley, a box of assorted fruits, consisting of ap- ples, peaches, plums, pears and figs in half-ripe state. He said the same would become ripe the latter part of December and from his account of the product iveness of that section Arizona may we'll be considered a thorn in the side of California fruit-grow- CTS. In appearance the Colonel is assuming aldermanic proportions; and he reports that his esteemed wife, our late postmistress, as being delighted with the change.

CENTRABS, STOCKHOLDERS.
The Annual Meeting to be Held To-
Morrow-The Rush ofVlsitors.

The Annual Meeting to be Held To-
Morrow-The Rush ofVlsitors.
The annual meeting of Central railroad
stockholders will be held at the companys
banking house tomorrow. The stock
holders from the interior of the State be-
gan arriving Monday, and yesterday the in
coming Central trains were crowded. The
day fast mail due here at o'clock, arrived
last night an hour and twenty minutes late,
and brought down two extra coaches, both
crowded. A run off on the Atlanta di-
vision, and the heavy travel, caused the de-
lay. To-day's trains will bring in the big
gest rush.
The crowd this year in spite of
the fact that the stock was pretty
well bought up for the last election
is as large as it ever was. A majority
of the holders retained enough stock to
enable them to bring down their families at
the railroad company's expense. The
rumor that got started several weeks ago to
the effect that the free rides would be cut
off caused a stir among the up-country
stockholders who have depended for years
upon the annual excursion to bring
their families to Savannah for their
holiday shopping. The merchants
realize a good trade during the
time the excursiOnists are here for they do
most of their Christmas buying then. The
annual meeting will take place in the
directors room at the bank at 10 O'Clock to-
morrow morning, but that is a matter of
very little interest TO the stockholders who
came TO Savannah for something else than
to attend the meeting.

TITcoMB AGAIN GOES FREE.
Acquitted a Second Time in the City
Court-The Judges Little Talk.

Acquitted a Second Time in the City
Court-The Judges Little Talk.
Samuel j. Titcomb was up again for trial
in the City Court yesterday, and again he
was acquitted. The charge this time was
carrying concealed weapons and Titcomb
again relied on his own legal powers to
secure his pardon. Justice Naughtin and
Constable Julius Kaufman testified that
Titcomb carried pistol concealed when he
made his murderous assault upon the latter.
May Henderson and Titcomb's other friends
testified that the pistol was not concealed,
as the but Of it could be seen sticking out of
his coat pocket.
When Titcomh made his statement he
made it against Kaufman and Naughtin in
stead of in his own defense. He said they
were prosecuting, not prosecuting, him, and
they We're only doing it on account OF the
costs, which had accumulated, and which
they wanted TO collect. He admitted that
he was a gambler and that he made his liv-
ing by gambling, but, he said, the case is
one Of Justice of the Peace, and Consta-
bic against a gambler, and he thought he
was better than they, for he accused them
of being wolves and blood suckers. He ex-
pended his entire vocabulary in berating
the Justice and Constable, and the jury
seemed to believe what he said for after re-
naming out for about fifteen minutes, it
brought in verdict of not guilty
Judge Harden then made Titcomb an adj
dress, aud told him that he was exceedingly
fortunate in being acquitted, for If he had
been found guilty he might have expected
no mercy from the court. The Judge said
the jurymen were on their oaths, and he
was bound to believe that they acted hon
estly in arriving at their verdict, but he
could not see how they had agreed upon an
acquittal
The jury was composed of men who sym
pathized with Titcomb The State had only
five strikes, and it was impossible to get all
of the Objectionable jurymen out of the way.
The jury has been most severely condemned
by those who know of the case and its &C
ton has been pronounced a travesty on jus

They Make Things Lively in the Big
Retail Stores.
This is the harvest time for petty thieves.
They infest the stores and make good deal
of money by stealing such small articles as
they can conveniently conceal about their
persons. They carry on their operations all
the year, but they lay in wait for the holt
day season, when goods are more freely and
rarelessly displayed on the counters and the
clerks are too busy to pay close attention
One of them was caught in Altmay-
er's yesterday afternoon and relieved
of jersey which she had stolen. She was
. woman, by the way, and very decently
dressed and respectable looking woman at
that One of the clerks saw her slip the
Jersey under her cloak, and he told the
manager of the department, VINO went up
10 her and accused her of being a thief
She Indignantly denied the accusation, and
was about to grow vehement in her refuta-
ton of the SANDER, when her accuser
quickly slipped his hand under her cloak
and pulled out the stolen article. Then she
grew penitent, and begged that she should
not be arrested, and when she was told that
she might go she hurried off greatly relieved
by the consent of the manager not to send
her to the barracks.

cooked pistol, with which he threatened to
shoot him if he made any resistance or at
tempted to escape. The assault was said to
have been provoked by an insult offered by
Brown to his assailant while in his store
sometime last week.
